Preparations are now well advanced for the construction of a railway from the East Coast line, at Edgecumbe, to open up a block of 15,000 acres .14 miles to the eastward, containing an estimated quantity of 300,000,000 feet of mi liable timber, mostly best quality rimu (states the Poverty Bay Herald). This limber laud is known as the Matahiiia forest, and the owners, the Matatiina Kimu Company. Sy me (Ltd.), of Hawera, and Air K. W. Smith, of Eaetihi, have formed the Matahaua Tramway.-. (Ltd.), with the object of handling the whole of the cut. timber. The railway line is to be of 3ft Gin gauge, and already some GOO tons of rails are stacked at Edgecumbe station. Generally the country is of a nature that presents no difficulties to the laying of the line. It is understood that Syme (Ltd.) contemplate the erection of an up-to-date milling plant during the coming year. It is estimated there is sufficient timber in the forest to keep the three mills going for the next 20 yea Ts.
